- bodies 10 are formed in staggered relation.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view. are: to prevent tearing the tag in service; to facilitate the applic and to reduce the cost-of manufacture of tags.

Description.- As seen in the drawings, a series of tag from a continuous strip 11, from which each is partially severed on lines 12. As shown .best in' Fig. 1 ofthe drawings, the lines. 12 are so arranged that the tag bodies 10 laminate, being disposed Prior to erforming the severed operation on the lines 12,the strip thereon a reinforcing strip 13. The reinforcing strip 13 covers the median line of the strip 11, and is severed with the sa d strip 11 by the lines 12, which cross sald median line of the strip 11 and form what may be termed the heads of the shipping tags.

strip 11 and to the strip 13.

As seen in Fig. 1, the lines 12 have curved extensions 15, which terminate in circular openings 16. The 'extensions 15 and openthe strip 11 and in- 13 planted thereon,-

strip 11, the extensions 15 and openings 16 are cut therein. In somecases, the second strip 13 1s also severed alon the lines indicated bythe numeral 17, w ichlines constitute the edges of the heads of the com I pleted backs- When placing the second strip 13 over :the

3 partially severed 11, the strip ll is reversed so that the exat the" opposite side of the tensions 15 rest median, llne drawn perpendicular through 2 the center of each of the heads ofthe backs.

. The strip 13 is firmly adhered to the strip 11. and bodies 10 formed therein. Care is exercised, however, not to adhere the looped and corresponding sections 18. These sections, in service, are separable, as shown best in Figs. 3 and 5 of the drawings, the ee edges of said sections being relatively oppositely extended. V When so spread, the tag loop .or cord 19 can be passed into the openings 16 ofeach of the said sections. When, now, the sections are adhered each tothe other, it is obvious that the openings 16 are permanently formed. completed prior to placing them in serv ce on the back. This arrangement permits more care being exercised-when forming the loops 19. I 1

It is obvious that. tags constructed and arrangedin accordance with the above description and as illustrated 1n the accompan'ying drawings, have greater endurance than the heads are not reinfgrced and where whatever requirement is imparted thereto, is limited to the area adjacent the perforationfor passing the tying cord.
